By Mrs Melinda Jennie Porter. G. w. Dill
bingham, New York, publisher
This is rather pretty little story. The
author is an Atlanta lady. She is not a
debutante in literature. Her first work pub
lished in book form was a poem, ''Val-
kyria," celebrating the restoration of fra
ternal relations between the sections. This,
issued in 1881, had large sale and was pro-
nounced by the late Senator Ben Hill, of
oOoi ga, Guc uIdNeSG GHlilg he naO ever
known woman to do; and the late Alex
ander H. Stephens also wrote that "'Val-
kyria' abounds with gems of thought ar
rayed with great artistic skill"
June Pa1,sy has a very interesting table
of contents. The illustrations are very fine,
and are particularly calculated to please
children. The reading matter in this maya
zine is always good, and pure and elevating
in tone. d. Lothrop & Co., Boston.
